Battle of Sommepy

The Battle of Sommepy (19-20 July 1918) occurred when the Entente powers launched an offensive against German trenches in the Artois region of northern France during World War I. The Allies held off the Imperial German Army's assault on its trenches, picking off German troops as they advanced through no man's land towards their trenches. The Allied counterattack was decisive, with the Germans failing to attack the Allied trenches and being forced to pull back from their positions after an Allied assault. The Allies won a victory at Sommepy, and they took the German trenches.
